Suggest Medication For Pain And Swelling Of Ankle And Foot

I hurt my foot in january. It felt as if it was sprained and not broken because I could move my ankle but it had swollen up and I felt pain in moving my foot. I put ice on to bring down the swelling for about 2-3 weeks (basically, whenever it swelled up). I rested with minimal walking for 2 months. I started playing football with light games. I have no problems moving around the pitch and my ankle moves freely to all directions but one. I still cant roll my foot as much as I could before without feeling pain in inwards direction or outwards direction. I feel pain when I put excessive pressure on my ankle which I didnt feel before. I feel pain when I strike the ball with the laces of my foot, probably due to putting my ankle under more pressure which was not the case before either. I injured my foot playing football and managed to roll my foot till the outside of my ankle touched the floor with me standing up. I have sprained my ankle twice before but that was 2-3 years ago and since then I had felt no pain on my ankles and it felt fine.
